NAIROBI (Reuters) — Kenyan doctors ended a three-month strike in public hospitals on Tuesday after reaching agreement on pay and working conditions, ending a standoff that threatened to embarrass the government before August's elections.

Details of the agreement were not immediately available.

"This bring to an end one of the most painful of experiences in labour relations in the country," said Peter Munya, governor of Meru county and chairman of the Council of Governors.

"We wish that this country shall never experience this again," said Ouma Oluga, the secretary general of the Kenya Medical Practitioners Pharmacists and Dentists' Union, which has around 5,000 members in state hospitals.
